Erika Qualls reportedly documented 15 racist incidents her son experienced at Church Hill Middle School this academic year.
A Tennessee family is suing a local school board after a middle schooler was allegedly subjected to a barrage of racial epithets, shown images of Ku Klux Klan members holding torches and nooses — and was even taunted in a “slave auction” staged by other students.
Erika Qualls has filed the lawsuit on behalf of her son and alleges that despite repeated attempts to remedy his bullying at Church Hill Middle School, located about 85 miles northeast of Knoxville, she was dismissed. Qualls brought her concerns to the administration and says she was regularly rebuffed, and her eighth-grade son was blamed for the behavior, according to a report from today!
